This flower needs somewhere to go No room to grow on these dusty roads I got two tickets and a dream Eight fifteen, I'll save you a seat"Monday Morning" was kind of an international hit peaking at #1 in Switzerland (God knows why lol), #3 in Austria and #11 in Sweden, but it's a bop so yay! In the US it was very lightly pushed as the third single, but then "Ay Yo" got more of the attention. Either way another great track. 8.

Ooh, when it feels so right Call her, write a letter, tell it to my mama And she gon' tell the world that I love you!Thank God Cee-Lo realised it cause Melanie was definitely the perfect match for this great song. She lent her vocals for the single version and "Fool for You" ended up reaching #13 on the R&B chart. 6. Fool for You (Cee-Lo Green feat.

Beginning with a perfect ranking at #21 and ending with my personal top 3 and #8 song all in the top five is beautiful...and everything that happened to my ranks in between that beginning and end is an ugliness that I simply will not acknowledge
(and having said this, I am now fully expecting my #17 song to win lol)

Who ever said look on the brighter side Has never been on mine Who ever said that he'll get his Never felt like thisMiss Melanie introduced her second album with DRAMA. "Gone And Never Coming Back" was chosen as the lead single at the top of 2011 and although it wasn't immediate, it showcased her vocals and ability to emote. Eventually, it reached #37 on the R&B chart. 5.

Who knew that my heart could have a bruise? You see this scar here on my chest? I'm hurting and he don't even careThe MF Life scored a hit single with "4AM," which showed Melanie could tackle a more modern R&B sound with just as much ease as she does Motown and old school. Co.-written and co-produced by Rico Love, the song became her second top 10 R&B hit peaking at #8 and her second entry on the Hot 100 at #81. 4. 4 AM Points: 178 Average: 5,818 Standard deviation: 6,027Kelly's 10th Fan : 1 Ky : 1 .indulgecountry : 1 Kanenrá:ke : 1 Troublemaker : 3 Ty : 4Active Aggressive : 4SHOOTER : 6 jenglisbe : 9 #LisaRinna : 13 Soulsista : 21

Baby I'm a mess Out of every piece and part of me You were always the bestA career highlight! Melanie and Jack Splash delivered magic with this song, easily the best from her second album. Everything from the lyrics, the production and the vocal delivery is just top notch quality. It was lightly pushed to Urban AC radio as the final single in early 2012 and it managed to outpeak "This Time" on the R&B chart at #87. 3.

I gotta be out my mind To think it's gonna work this time A part of me wants to leave, but the other side still believesOnly when Melanie came with the drama she scored big in the US. So big that this song remains her biggest hit to date, reaching #1 on the R&B chart and Adult R&B radio and #43 on the Hot 100. The song was nominated for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance at the Grammys, but lost to Beyoncé. 2. It Kills Me Points: 186 Average: 5,091 Standard deviation: 4,738Soulsista : 1 SHOOTER : 1 Ty : 2Active Aggressive : 2#LisaRinna : 2Kanenrá:ke : 3 Troublemaker : 5 .indulgecountry : 5 jenglisbe : 7 Ky : 11 Kelly's 10th Fan : 17 (whyyyy) On time, on time I expect you to be Oh my, oh my Baby in my fantasy If you can't get it right Then just forget itThe song that started it all. Sultry and cheeky, "Give It to Me Right" is based on a prominent sample of "Time of the Season" by The Zombies masterfully turned into a sensual modern R&B track by Andrea Martin. The single was somewhat of a hit in Europe reaching #9 in Italy, #5 in Switzerland, #31 in Germany and #41 in the UK. In America, Melanie scored #20 in her own nation and because the US is always behind, it only made #57 on the R&B chart. 1.

Great top 2! I know I *tanked* "Wrong Side" (#oopsie) but I really genuinely liked everything here except for "You Stop My Heart" that I put last, and even that wasn't like horrific or anything, lol. Melanie's material was really strong and I loved diving into it thanks to this RD!
